The Power of Art in Multicultural Education: The International Stories Project

摘要

Immigration is making our country and schools increasingly diverse. An unfortunate consequence of this condition is prejudice, discrimination, and lack of understanding. The challenge for educators is to create learning opportunities that will allow students to gain understanding and appreciation of the differences among the people who are in their midst. These two projects created opportunities for students to examine topics of culture, diversity, and social justice in a traditional classroom and within the local context of their community.
